Micro-Locator: Make it bigger.

The title says it all. The micro-locator is just too hard to hit, even when very close to it, with lasers.

Give it some more size so that drones can hit them, so they won’t be unbearably overpowered / OP. 

 

To note, people generally simply let them lie around because they require too much effort to take down, and thus the map simply gets littered with them.

Not to mention, by the time you take one down, another is likely already dropped off by the very same recon that dropped the first one.

This should be a tactical module, like the covert ops’ nukes, not the all-seeing eye of Sauron.

What if you’re trying to find the One Ring, though?

Yes, we want it so drones are the answer to every ship that does not use them!

 

I actually have to turn my ship and fire at it. I have to lock it to shoot missiles at it. These are unacceptable options!

 

I want to make it so that I can bounce off a rock or just drop a drone to counter the only two decloak abilities in the game. Seriously, how can I use cloak as a flare that gives me +5% damage boost with a micro locator on the map?!

I just think it shouldn’t be able to survive a singularity shot… Way too tanky for something that small.  Makes attack drones and repair stations look like paper bags.

I agree with this. The size of the micro-locator is fine, but the durability should reflect the size. If it’s so hard to hit, it should be pretty easy to hit. (A 5k crit gauss shot can’t one-shot it, that plus the fact that it takes several singularity shots to take it out should tell you it is far too durable).

It should have a slightly larger hit-box in my opinion

“micro”-locator

if you make it bigger devs, increase it’s range.

 

micro locators do not have a huge range. if they’re easier to destroy, they should be buffed too.

Eh, I think range is fine. They are talking about making hitbox bigger instead of actual structure.

it’s easily hitable with schrapnel and with desintegrator  :006j:

If you can hit a microlocator from 12km with just one shot from disintegrator, I’ll give you a hundred artifacts.

you dont have to, aim assistance will make it happen

Really? I have trouble hitting the dang things when I’m completely still and using lasers. I can’t imagine that the aim assistance would help that much if you’re using disintegrator.

Lasers do not have aim assistance, all projectile main weapons do (plus desintegrator)

Its nice that it is so small imo (but still too tanky).  Tackler pooper’s drones can’t hit it because it is so small, making it super effective against the tacklers everywhere.  Recon needs to be good at something else other than beacon rushing XD.  Idk tho… it is pretty hard to hit cuz of size (mainly on servers with 100+ ping which are all but US for me)

Ah.

but i don’t use aim assistance :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, I can’t destroy it with my Naga laser less than 50 meters away. Pulse laser… I know, it sounds stupid.

Maybe I need eyeglasses, a better mouse or just this, “slightly” increased hit-box and a bit less durable micro-locator too.

I think that durability should be reduced by from 25%-50%.

lol i just realized how this could be an innuendo. #soimmature

Your poll leaves much to be desired.

 

 

I think the size is fine. BUT they do need to be more fragile. The only way I know to consistently knock them out is to lock on and launch a missile.

 

They should not be stronger than an attack drone.
